the error i'm getting (some of the logs above are not included here b/c this i got this error before i put'em):

2013-06-27 09:11:49.487 Breeze[24235:c07] *** Assertion failure in -[UITableView _endCellAnimationsWithContext:], /SourceCache/UIKit_Sim/UIKit-2380.17/UITableView.m:1070
2013-06-27 09:11:49.487 Breeze[24235:c07] Exception in insertRows: Invalid update: invalid number of rows in section 0. The number of rows contained in an existing section after the update (2) must be equal to the number of rows contained in that section before the update (2), plus or minus the number of rows inserted or deleted from that section (1 inserted, 0 deleted) and plus or minus the number of rows moved into or out of that section (0 moved in, 0 moved out).

)
::::::attachmentData.count: 1
:::::: info retaincount: 2
:::::: info[data] retain count:1
:::::: info[rows] retain count: 1

so the reason why we have number of rows = 2 is b/c we got this code:

• (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
  {
  int add = 1;

  return [self.attachmentData count] + add;
  }
  so we always have one extra row (for is loading etc) than what's in self.attachmentData.. however, self.attachmentData is supposed to have 2 elements stored in it (at least according to the error msg above).. but it DOESN'T..
  so the conclusion is that self.attachmentData is not getting updated fast enough?
